Finding An Attorney In New York For Herniated Disc And Spinal Cord Injuries
I have a slipped disc and I wanted to know what exercises can I do that won’t put pressure on my back and it will help me stay in shape? My doctor told me to do some biking, lite swimming and lite walking, but I was wondering if anybody knows what else I can do?
I suffered from a slipped disc a year or so ago, after months of mild backache due to back posture and obesity. I haven’t really been the same since the incident but I lost 2 stone (not enough weight to lose but a start) and was starting to get stronger. Being on my feet for long periods of time and sitting down caused some problems but I was 90% ok really.
I narrowly missed having to have surgery because I had numbness down one side of my leg… it was only mild numbness and I had horrific sciatia too. the numbness never really went away to be honest but my physio and dr were kinda laid back about it.
2 weeks ago I had a bad flare up. My lower back pain was kinda bad (although not acute) and the numbness in my buttock, saddle and back of the thigh seems worse. My DR thinks I am fine and the physio said that the disc must just be a bit inflamed again and not to pain but, I am panicking, I thought that if you get numbness you have to have surgery because it can damage your nerves?? My legs also feel jellyish sometimes, like weak but to b honest it’s worse when im worried so that might be anxiety.
I am doing my exercises to strengthen my core, losing weight and improving my posture (I am not needing painkillers) but I am worried that this is getting ignored, should I just calm down? lol I am going to rome next week for 2 days and I am worried about that, as I had to cancel a holiday 2 weeks ago because of being worried that the disc will come out again!
Help!
Stretches or exercises
My dachshund Dexter has a slipped disc. He was on bed rest for a couple weeks and the past week or so I’ve been doing exercises with him in the bathtub. Anyway he is starting to walk. Before he would just drag his legs, now he puts his back legs up as normal but after a few steps they wobble like he is unsteady and usually he plops down, then gets back up. Is this normal? I’ve had to carry him to the grass a ways from my apartment because he’s still dragging a bit and on the concrete it hurts his skin.
Will he always be a bit wobbly like this? I hope it will get better..it will be probably not be completely gone but enough that he’s able to walk more easily..are there any other exercises I should do with him besides the bathtub to get his back legs strong again (ive noticed he has put on a bit of muscle). Should I encourage him to move as much as possible inside (on the carpet)? Thank you
yes Ive seen the vet twice (once right after he slipped the disc and the last time about 2 weeks ago)
I have a herniated /slipped disc in my lower back in v2,3,4,5 apparently. NSAIDS (aspirin) have little effect and I cant get access to physiotherapy for some time still. I s there any sort of of exercises I can do on my own to deal with the pain and speed up the healing proccess?
ok it was in the lower portion of my back the v #’s were just something a doctor pointed out to me, ignore them. i had an xray not an MRI
Let me just start off saying that I also have scoliosis and have had back issues for the past 15 years. I had pain so great last summer that radiated down my leg into my toes that I went to physical therapy 3x a week and popped Vicodin and muscle relaxants like crazy. Well, it’s back and its been almost two weeks. I’m in agony and I have a two year old that I am home with all day. It’s been very hard to care for her plus limp around in pain. Is there anything that I can do at home to help without having to call the doc? I don’t have anyone to watch her during the day to go to PT and I’m trying my best to avoid it so I’ve been starting the exercises that I was shown a year ago…it helps for awhile, just so the pain is tollerable, and then starts in again. HELP!
about 2.5 years ago i began experiencing leg pain and was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs. i was put on lite duty for 18 mos (i wait tables, had to hostess)
after countless docs pills chiros and breakdowns, i felt better about a year ago and retrned to waiting tables. my mri showed that the hernaition had beome a sligt bulge.

Does anyone know if it is a good idea, safe, to do pilates with a slipped disc, and what exercises should be avoided?

I’ve been having general back pain for the last 2 years or so. I have been diagnosed with scoliosis, but it is mild enough that my doctor would not recommend PT. However, the pain is a dull ache throughout my back, worsening in the lumbar (lower) section. Can someone please recommend any effect home remedies, exercises or anything else that might reduce the pain?
I’m pretty sure i have collapsed arches (something genetic) and i started feeling pain in my knees and lower back pain for several years (20 now). I also think it’s partly due to bad posture, because i spend 4-5 hours at computer.
I started doing exercises since april and decreased the time spent on computer and it’s been useful. Should i ask a doctor before trying one of those plantars?
Any tips appreciated!
this nerve is fricken killing me, and i gotta play hockey tomorrow. i’ve tried ibuprofen, since it’s an anti-inflammatory, but are there any exercises or stretches i can do?
I suffered with SPD during pregnancy they say caused by an old lower back injury and me carrying my baby weight differently. Since giving birth I have been unable to sleep on my stomach as it feels like my back it too arched almost to the point if feels forced. It is very painful, does anyone know any exercises that can help re-align my pelvis (if that is the problem).
I need to lose weight but I have a lot of problems with my back and deal with lower back pain daily…plus I have sciatica in one leg and too much movement/exertion causes it to flare up.
Are there any exercises (besides swimming) I can do thats low impact and wont cause me too much more pain?
